There are sporadic rulesabout environmental protection in international lawof war during war. The most important of theserules be observed in (1977). Geneva and ENMODconvention.These treaties are contain generalrules in the field of environmental protection duringwar such as ban of using tools and methods thatmakes extensive and severe and lasting effecton the environment. Finally, with revising rulesrelated to the environmental protection duringwar can be concluded that these rules are notenough for protecting the most important elementof human survival also need stronger enforcement.In addition, considering this fact when these rulescome in to force that major power in the world isinterested to them.
